An integrated headset typically includes a thin metal collet which sits on the fork crown. What headset you got? Suggest you look for a parts diagram.

in some BMC you just drop bearing in. no crown. it seats on carbon. looks weird, but it's designed that way...

I can be wrong, and have plenty of examples for that ;)

Not only on BMC, but on must current forks you use 'drop bearings' (which has nothing to do with the Ozzie 'drop bears') those bearings rest on an integrated crown race. No need for the metal thingie

Not an AR but I have a Felt Z1, no crown race, bearing just sits on the fork. Dry fit it, you'll soon see if it works
